Rep. Burchett Introduces Bill to Legally Guarantee Social Security Benefits and Inflation Adjustments
Every current and future Social Security recipient would receive a legally enforceable certificate guaranteeing their full monthly benefit and annual cost-of-living adjustments. This creates a new legal mechanism that would make it much harder for Congress to cut benefits through regular budget processes, providing stronger protection for the roughly 70 million people who depend on Social Security for retirement income, disability payments, or survivor benefits.
“Any certificate issued under the authority of this section constitutes budget authority in advance of appropriations Acts and represents the obligation of the Federal Government to provide for the payment to the individual to whom the certificate is issued”
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
